Regards to being a parts donor: if I remember correctly the OM-40's prism
unfortunately does not fit as a replacement in an OM-1, like the OM-10
prism does. O.t.o.h. if the rubber body cover is still looking good,
someone might have an interest. My OM-40 shows its age by having its black
cover turn grey over time.
Cheers,
Bart
